10 Book Weekend

Sometimes, I like to challenge myself a little bit on the weekends. I especially like to challenge myself on the weekends where I have no plans. AND I KNOW THIS IS SUPER WEIRD, but sometimes I like being anti-social and barricading myself in with a nice pile of books.

This weekend, from today, FRIDAY to Sunday, I am challenging myself to finish ten books from my review pile. Why?

A) It’ll be easier to get rid of some books.

B) I want to get ahead of my goodreads challenge even MORE.

C) I want to stockpile some reviews so as to be more organized and less overwhelmed.

So, I bet you are wondering what the ten books I chose are. Their unread pages add up to 2056. I already started one of them yesterday, Incarnate by Jodi Meadows.

It’s likely I won’t be able to get all of these books read, but heck, even half is a big accomplishment. Plus, you know what they say: shoot for the moon and even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.

What about you all? Any good reading planned for this weekend, let me know in the comments!

April is in her 30s and created Good Books And Good Wine. She works for a non-profit. April always has a book on hand. In her free time she can be found binge watching The Office with her husband and toddler, spending way too much time on Pinterest or exploring her neighborhood.

I’m currently reading Anyway by Arthur Salm, The City’s Son by Tom Pollock, Have a Nice Day by Julie Halpern and The Other Normals by Ned Vizzini. Yeah, a lot, lol. I have off Mon-Wed of next week so I’ll be trying to get lots of reading done then. Good luck with your 10 books!

Good way to push yourself!! I love doing this! I’ll do this sometimes but with series… I’ll start the first book on Friday and try to finish the entire series by Sunday night or Monday morning 🙂 It makes me happy, LOL, but I tend to be a hermit & homebody every weekend even though I have a three year old.

I’m starting “Hyde” by Lauren Stewart today & will be reviewing it on my blog this weekend! I’m stoked but this is my first official book review! I’m going to have to browse around and determine how I want to format my reviews from here on out! Any suggestions are helpful!! 🙂

I’m basically consumed with jealousy. With that said, though, my husband will be gone all day on Saturday and Sunday, so if I can get all my other crap done I might get some good reading in too. Good luck!

That’s a great challenge to undertake (and quite the productive use of your time)! This weekend I’ll be attending the National BookFest in DC, so at least a good chunk of my Saturday will still be dedicated to bookish things. Have a wonderful weekend, happy reading and good luck!

What an ambitious goal. You have inspired me. I am going to shoot for three books this weekend. That may not seem like much compared to your goal, but I have a toddler. I will check back Monday and let you know how I did.

April, that’s crazy! That’s 5 books a day, isn’t it? Still, I think if anybody can do it you can. Good luck and I hope you don’t wake up Monday morning with your brain thinking you read a book called Batman’s Hidden Life of Revolution by an Angel Zom-B 😛

I love to give myself those kinds of challenges. My weekend reading plans are nowhere near as ambitious but I’m hoping to finish reading [and review!] Endlessly by Kiersten White and The Demon Catchers of Milan by Kat Beyer. I’m SO behind. I’ll have to have myself a challenge weekend pretty soon just so I can catch up!

“Shoot for the moon and even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” is one of my favorite quotes! I miss the days when I could read all weekend! Now, it is snippets while waiting in the car line, a couple of chapters while I’m eating lunch. I’ve learned I can’t read at night before bed, or I never go to sleep 😉 Every now and again I get in a funk and take a few days and read non-stop… but then I hate myself for the piles of laundry and dirty dishes that build up 🙁

Awesome weekend reading goal, I hoped you had fun! Can’t wait to read your review of Incarnate! I had trouble with the ending (it was rather…cut off and felt disconnected?) but apart from that, I LOVED it. 😀

Hello Reader Friends!

I’m April and am absolutely delighted you stopped by.

You know that person who always has a book in their purse and a glass of wine on hand? THAT’S ME.

In my free time I can be found binge watching The Office with my husband and baby, spending way too much time on Pinterest or exploring my neighborhood. I’m so excited to chat with you about all the books we’re reading and listening to.
